Red Sox front office did something right. They got rid of Devers.

But there’s no point in putting up with a league-worst defensive 3b while the much easier 1b is being manned by stopgap players…

That is basically the underlying point being made, and we "put up with it" for years too long.

The idea that the worst defensive 1Bman in recent memory was "blocking" 1B was an absurd point, and back then Casas had trade value or could have DH'd.

Story is now going on year two playing SS while being a clear negative on D. It's arguable we have someone better, so at least there is a case to be made on why he's still there, but I'd try Mayer at SS.
